You see, to most of the people who work in government and the media these days -- especially in our urban centers -- "private property" is a concept out of some dusty, 18th century history book. Oh, sure, "property owners" are allowed to live on their land, so long as they pay rent to the state in the form of "property taxes."

This guy is misinformed. Here's a quote from a "dusty, 18th century history book":

"Men did not make the earth... It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property... Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds." - Thomas Paine

[Luis Gonzalez]

Thomas Paine was a collectivist, a precursor to communism.
